Date: 12/5/26
Location:Birdswood Farm,145 Sleetmoor Lane, Somercotes, Derbyshire, DE55 1RE – public footpath that runs through the farm land leading to Leamoor Avenue
Report: “As I was walking along the public footpath with my two dogs on leads, the cows came towards us, pushed me over and then chased one of my dogs. I dropped the dogs leads as I fell, one of my dogs ran off out of the field and the other dog got chased and caught under the feet of the herd of cows. When I got up, I tried to get my dog to come back but the cows were still chasing him. My dog was clearly injured and managed to limp to me, we left the field immediately. My dog sustained significant injuries and is currently being treated at the vets. I have tried to contact the farmer but he has not answered my calls.”
